Authorities in Bangladesh have been releasing hundreds of children suspected of committing mostly petty crimes as they try to keep the coronavirus from spreading in overcrowded detention centers, officials said Friday. The orders for their release on bail came from virtual courts set up by the country's Supreme Court with the help of UNICEF, officials said. "It feels great to be freed and get united with my parents," Rakib told The Associated Press on Friday. "I am very happy. I have suffered in the jail a lot. That's a bad place." (UNICEF via AP)
